the genius of the tape is that all the tracks feel like they belong with the others.
back when I could actually make tapes (pause button for the win), this is what mattered most.
taking a large variety of songs from different genres and cooking them up into something tasty is really what it was all about and this is where you win.
I love the Polygon Window track, and I have Surfing on Sine Waves somewhere but I'll be damned if I can find it. I need to dig out all that old Aphex Twin stuff, because it's been a very long time since I gave it a listen.
"Earth" is where I really started to feel my mind being blown though. I
must have more Third Ear Band. if I was forced to choose, this would be my favorite track on the tape.
"Boil in UV" might make it as my second favorite. I turned it up really loud and annoyed the wife. when the wife gets annoyed at loud music, I take it as a good sign.
despite the fact that my two favorite tracks are on side 1, I think that side 2 might be my favorite overall.
of note: I have no live Godspeed, but I have just about everything else. along with A Silver Mt. Zion, Godspeed shares a collective spot among my top-10 favorite bands. "Albanian" made me want to cry. I was forced to actually wiki it because I had never heard it before
***. I need live Godspeed like I need Third Ear Band right now (actually wanting something these days is exciting).
there really is no lull in yr tape.
*** wiki also made me want this:
